2 Mpanjaka 10

1 Ary nisy zanak’ i Ahaba fito-polo lahy tany Samaria. Ary Jeho nanoratra taratasy ka nampitondra iny ho any Samaria any amin’ ny mpanapaka any Jezirela dia ho any amin’ ny loholona sy ny mpitaiza ny zanak’ i Ahaba nanao hoe:

And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, unto the rulers of Yizre'el, the elders, and to those that brought up Achab's children, saying,

2 Ary raha tonga atỳ aminareo ity taratasy ity (fa ao aminareo ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary ao aminareo ny kalesy sy ny soavaly sy ny tanàna mimanda ary ny fiadiana),

And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing that there are with you your master's sons, and there are with you the chariots and the horses, and the fortified city, and the armor:

3 dia izahao izay tsara sy mendrika indrindra amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary apetraho amin’ ny seza fiandrianan-drainy izy, ka miadia ary ho an’ ny mpianakavin’ ny tomponareo.

Select then the best and the most fitting of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

4 Dia raikitahotra indrindra ireo ka nifampilaza hoe: Indro ny mpanjaka roa aza tsy nahajanona teo anatrehany, ka hataontsika ahoana no fahajanona?

But they were exceedingly much afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings could not stand before him: how then shall we be able to stand?

5 Ary ny lehiben’ ny tandapa sy ny mpanapaka ny tanana ary ny loholona koa sy ireo mpitaiza naniraka tany amin’ i Jeho nanao hoe: Mpanomponao izahay, koa izay rehetra andidianao anay dia hataonay; tsy hanangana andriana izahay, fa izay sitraky ny fonao ihany no ataovy.

And the superintendent over the house, and the commander over the city, and the elders, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and all that thou mayest say unto us will we do; we will not set up any one as king: do what is good in thy eyes.

6 Dia nanoratra taratasy taminy indray Jeho nanao hoe: Raha ahy ary ianareo ka hankatò ny teniko, dia tapaho ny lohan’ ireo zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary mankanesa atỳ amiko atỳ Jezirela rahampitso toy izao. Ary izy fito-polo lahy zanaky ny mpanjaka dia tao amin’ ireo lehiben’ ny tanàna, mpitaiza azy.

Then wrote he to them a letter the second time, saying, If ye be for me, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, then take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me to Yizre'el by this time tomorrow. Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

7 Ary nony efa tonga tany amin’ ireo ny taratasy, dia naka ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka namono azy fito-polo lahy, ary nataony tao an-tsobiky ny lohany ka nateriny tany amin’ i Jeho tany Jezirela.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Yizre'el.

8 Ary tonga ny iraka ka nanambara taminy hoe: Indro, efa nitondra ny lohan’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy Jeho: Ampifanongoavy ho roa toko eo anoloan’ ny vavahady mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro.

And the messenger came, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Place ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

9 Ary nony maraina, dia nivoaka Jeho ary nitsangana ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Marina ianareo, indro, izaho nikomy tamin’ ny tompoko ka nahafaty azy; fa iza kosa no nahafaty ireto rehetra ireto?

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who hath killed all these?

10 Aoka ho fantatrareo ary fa tsy hisy raraka an-tany ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba; fa Jehovah efa nanao izay nampilazainy an’ i Elia mpanompony.

Know now that there shall not fall of the word of the Lord unto the earth, the least that the Lord hath spoken concerning the house of Achab; and the Lord hath done that which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah.

11 Ka dia novonoin’ i Jeho izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba tao Jezirela sy ny olom-baventy rehetra tao aminy mbamin’ ny havany ary ny mpisorony koa, ambara-paha-tsy hisy miangana na dia iray akory aza.

And Jehu smote all that yet remained of the house of Achab in Yizre'el, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, until he had left him none that escaped.

12 Dia niainga izy ka nankany Samaria. Ary nony mby tany an-trano fivorian’ ny mpiandry ondry tany an-dalana Jeho,

And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria; he was just at the binding-house of the shepherds, on the way:

13 dia nifanena amin’ ny rahalahin’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izy ka nanao hoe: Iza ange ianareo? Ary izy ireo namaly hoe: Rahalahin’ i Ahazia izahay ary midìna mba hamangy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny zanakalahin’ ny andriambavy.

When Jehu met with the brothers of Achazyahu the king of Judah, and he said, Who are ye? And they said, The brothers of Achazyahu are we; and we are come down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

14 Ary hoy Jeho: Sambory velona ireo. Dia nosamboriny ka novonoiny teo akaikin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano tao an-trano fivoriana izy roa amby efa-polo lahy ireo, ary tsy nasiany miangana na dia iray akory aza.

And he said, Seize them alive. And they seized them alive, and slaughtered them at the pit of the binding-house, two and forty men; and he left not one of them remaining.

15 Ary rehefa niala teo Jeho, dia nahita an’ i Jonadaba, zanakalahin’ i Rekaba, avy manatona azy; dia niarahaba azy izy ary nanao taminy hoe: Marina va ny fonao tahaka ny foko amin’ ny fonao? Ary Jonadaba namaly hoe: Eny. Raha izany ary no izy, hoy Jeho, dia aoka isika hifandray tanana. Dia natolony ny tànany, ka nampiakarin’ i Jeho ho eo aminy teo anatin’ ny kalesy izy.

And he went away thence, and met Yehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is all right in thy heart, as my heart is with thy heart? And Yehonadab answered, It is; it is: give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 Ary hoy Jeho: Andeha hiaraka amiko, ka izahao ny zotom-poko ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia nentina teo amin’ ny kalesy izy.

And he said, Come with me, and behold my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.

17 Ary rehefa tonga tany Samaria Jeho, dia namono izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny tamingan’ i Ahaba tany Samaria mandra-paharingany, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy tamin’ i Elia.

And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that yet remained unto Achab in Samaria, till he had exterminated him, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Elijah.

18 Ary Jeho namory ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahaba nanompo an’ i Bala kelikely ihany, fa Jeho no hanompo azy fatratra.

And Jehu assembled all the people, and said unto them, Achab hath served Ba'al a little: Jehu will serve him much.

19 Koa ankehitriny vorio ho atỳ amiko ny mpaminanin’ i Bala rehetra, ny mpanompony rehetra sy ny mpisorony rehetra; aza avela hisy tsy ho tonga na dia iray akory aza; fa hamono zavatra betsaka ho fanatitra ho an’ i Bala aho; koa na iza na iza tsy ho tonga, dia tsy hovelomina izy. Kanjo Jeho nanao izany ho fihendrena handringanany ny mpanompon’ i Bala.

And now call unto me all the prophets of Ba'al, all his worshippers, and all his priests: let no one be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make for Ba'al; whosoever will be missing, shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, in order to destroy the worshippers of Ba'al.

20 Ary hoy Jeho: Manendre fivoriana masìna ho an’ i Bala. Koa dia nanendry andro izy.

And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba'al. And they proclaimed it.

21 Ary Jeho naniraka tany amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary dia tonga ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra, ka tsy nisy lehilahy tsy tonga teo na dia iray akory aza. Ary dia niditra tao an-tranon’ i Bala ireo, ka feno hika ny trano.

And Jehu sent throughout all Israel: and there came all the worshippers of Ba'al, so that there was not a man remaining that came not; and they came into the house of Ba'al; and the house of Ba'al was full from one end to another.

22 Dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpitahiry ny fitafiana: Amoahy fitafiana ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra. Ary dia namoaka ny fitafiana ho azy izy.

And he said unto him that was over the wardrobe, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Ba'al. And he brought forth for them the vestments.

23 Ary Jeho sy Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, nankao an-tranon’ i Bala ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Bala hoe: Fantaro tsara sy izahao, fandrao misy mpanompon’ i Jehovah eto aminareo, fa tsy ny mpanompon’ i Bala ihany.

And Jehu went, with Yehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Ba'al, and he said unto the worshippers of Ba'al, Search, and look that there be not here with you any of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Ba'al entirely alone.

24 Ary nony niditra hanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà izy, Jeho kosa dia nametraka valo-polo lahy teo ala-trano ka nanao hoe; Raha misy afa-mandositra ny olona izay nentiko ho eto an-tananareo, izay mamela azy handeha, dia ny ainy no hisolo ny ainy.

And they went in to prepare sacrifices and burnt-offerings; but Jehu had set for himself without eighty men, and said, [If there be] a man that escapeth from the men whom I deliver into your hands, [there shall be given] life for his life.

25 Ary rehefa vita ny nanaterany ny fanatitra dorana, dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza: Midìra, ka vonoy, ary aza avela hisy ho tafavoaka. Dia namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy; ary ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza dia nanary ny faty ary niditra tao amin’ ny tanàna nisy ny tranon’ i Bala.

And it came to pass, as soon as they had made an end of preparing the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers, Go in, smite them: let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the runners and the captains cast them out, and went as far as the city of the house of Ba'al.

26 Ary namoaka ny orin-kazo izay tao an-tranon’ i Bala izy ka nandoro ireny.

And they brought forth the statues out of the house of Ba'al, and burnt every one of them.

27 Ary nandrava ny tsangam-baton’ i Bala sy ny tranony izy, ary dia nataony trano fivoahana mandraka androany izany.

And they broke down the statue of Ba'al, and broke down the house of Ba'al, and made it a common sewer unto this day.

28 Toy izany no nandravan’ i Jeho an’ i Bala tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely.

Thus Jehu exterminated Ba'al out of Israel.

29 Nefa Jeho tsy dia niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, dia tamin’ ireo ombilahy kely volamena izay tao Betela sy Dana.

Nevertheless the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from in following them, [namely, ] the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

30 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Jeho: Satria efa nanao soa ianao tamin’ ny nanaovanao izay mahitsy eo imasoko sady efa nataonao tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba araka izay rehetra tao am-poko, koa dia hitoetra amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely ny taranakao hatramin’ ny zafindohalika.

And the Lord said unto Jehu, Forasmuch as thou hast acted well in doing what is right in my eyes, and hast done in accordance with all that was in my heart unto the house of Achab: children of the fourth generation after thee shall sit upon the throne of Israel.

31 Nefa Jeho tsy nitandrina handeha amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, amin’ ny fony rehetra; fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama izay nampanotany ny Isiraely izy.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin.

32 Tamin’ izany andro izany no niantombohan’ ny nanakelezan’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely; fa Hazaela namely azy tamin’ ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra

In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Chazael smote them in all the boundary of Israel;

33 hatrany Jordana no ho miantsinanana, dia ny tany Gileada rehetra, ny Gadita sy ny Robenita ary ny Manasita, hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia Gileada sy Basana.

From the Jordan to the rising of the sun, all the land of Gil'ad, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Menassites, from 'Aro'er which is by the river Arnon, both Gil'ad and Bashan.

34 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeho sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny heriny rehetra, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

35 Ary Jeho lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy. Ary Joahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoachaz his son became king in his stead.

36 Ary ny andro izay nanjakan’ i Jeho tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria dia valo amby roa-polo taona.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
